Kriti Sanon's 'Mimi' Turns 3: Celebrating Her National Award And Transformation

Kriti Sanon celebrates her birthday this month, coinciding with the third anniversary of her acclaimed film 'Mimi.' Released in 2021, 'Mimi' featured Kriti as a surrogate mother, a role that earned her widespread praise and a National Award. This performance solidified her reputation as one of Bollywood's most versatile actresses.

In 'Mimi,' Kriti played a cheerful and ambitious girl who becomes an exemplary mother to her surrogate child. Her heartfelt portrayal won many hearts and remains one of her most cherished roles. As the film marks its three-year milestone, it's an ideal moment to revisit Kriti's outstanding performance that made 'Mimi' the heart of the movie.

To bring authenticity to her role in 'Mimi,' Kriti chose to gain weight naturally instead of using a body suit. Reflecting on this decision, she shared in an old interview, "I had to put on 15 kgs in 2 months for 'Mimi,' which I could start losing only once I had completed the film." This commitment highlights Kriti's passion and dedication as an actress.

Reflecting on winning the National Award for 'Mimi,' Kriti said in an old interview, "Mimi was always special, as it had a lot of heart and soul to it, along with entertainment. When we started shooting, the scenes actually came out better than what was on paper, and that doesn't happen to every film. Scenes ke saath feel arahi thi ki kuch toh special hai, no matter what the result will be. Laxman (Mimi's director Laxman Utekar) sir used to call me Mimi, which he still does. He always used to say, 'Dekhna, aapko iske liye national award milega'. So actually when it happened I called him and said 'How did you know?' He had a lot of confidence because I am otherwise very critical of myself."

Looking ahead, Kriti is set to make her debut as a producer this year with 'Do Patti.' This project aims to push storytelling boundaries and features veteran actress Kajol. Under her production house Blue Butterfly Films, Kriti is poised to make a significant impact on the industry as a producer.

Kriti's journey from an actress to a producer showcases her evolving career in Bollywood. With each new venture, she continues to captivate audiences and critics alike. Her dedication to her craft is evident in every role she takes on.

The success of 'Mimi' not only brought accolades but also highlighted Kriti's ability to take on challenging roles. Her willingness to undergo physical transformation for authenticity speaks volumes about her commitment.

As Kriti embarks on this new chapter as a producer, fans eagerly await what she will bring next. Her collaboration with Kajol in 'Do Patti' promises an exciting addition to Bollywood's cinematic landscape.

Kriti Sanon's journey is marked by versatility and dedication. From gaining weight for 'Mimi' to stepping into production with 'Do Patti,' she continues to push herself creatively. Her contributions are sure to leave a lasting impact on Bollywood.
